Angus DavisonGarden snails 🐌 try to stab each other with 'love darts' prior to mating. We finally got it on video!
With sound on you can hear the 'ding' as the dart pierces through the body and hits the glass on the other side. Ouch!
Our snails 🐌 featured on #BBCSpringwatch last night, links below. It was a lot of work for five minutes of film - but quite pleased overall. Of course, we did not quite get the highly desired #lovedart shooting (despite what the video says) but have subsequently managed (to follow 😉).
Mostly shot in studio in Life Sciences, rest on UoN campus. No lefties either, at least not obviously.

Mark ChickThis week, the songs Chris Packham is getting into the #Springwatch programmes are by #Blur.
I'm already wondering what next week's band will be. #Pulp, perhaps? If he can get 'Sorted for E's and Wizz' into a wildlife programme he should get a medal!
SimonCoxHmmmm,
Not heard Messing around with Poodles by Oasis yet.

Nature with Steve“Get off my water!!!” A male Mute Swan puts on a ‘look how big and scary I am’ display of power to tell the two other Swans he is barrelling toward that they are absolutely not welcome on *his* part of East Marsh Pool. Brandon Marsh, near Coventry, earlier this month.

Chris Packham is definitely trying to mention as many Oasis songs as he can during the #SpringWatch programmes.
It's happening, snails on BBC Springwatch! In the end, four days work x 2 BBC staff plus myself as animal wrangler. For 5 minutes of film. #bbcspringwatch #snails #Cornu #UoN https://www.bbc.co.uk/mediacentre/mediapacks/springwatch-2025
A Robin at The Dingle, Llangefni, Anglesey, checking to see whether I'm using the right settings on my camera and judging me for not using a smaller aperture for better depth of field. Everyone's a critic... 😉
